Michal Rosenwald, Columbia Journalism Review

> The best-sourced reporter covering Apple Inc., one of the world’s most secretive companies, is a 20-year-old junior at the University of Michigan. His name is Mark Gurman. He makes more than six figures a year as senior editor and scoop master at 9to5Mac.com, a news outlet most people have never heard of. In the interest of truth, which Gurman is known to pursue with almost religious zeal, it should be noted that he sometimes types stories in class.

*** Does Thor Qualify As A Disney Princess? ***
<http://www.tor.com/blogs/2014/08/does-thor-qualify-as-a-disney-princess>
Ada Palmer, Tor.com

> Disney says the Marvel movieverse is separate from their Princess line, but it’s still a remarkably telling question if we take it seriously and actually look at what qualities make a Disney Princess, which Thor has, and what this shows about the Disney-patented princess obsession which has such an enormous impact on millions of kids (especially girls) and on our culture as a whole.



*** A Memoir Is Not A Status Update ***
<http://www.newyorker.com/culture/cultural-comment/memoir-status-update>
Dani Shapiro, New Yorker

> I worry that we’re confusing the small, sorry details—the ones that we post and read every day—for the work of memoir itself. I can’t tell you how many times people have thanked me for “sharing my story,” as if the books I’ve written are not chiseled and honed out of the hard and unforgiving material of a life but, rather, have been dashed off, as if a status update, a response to the question at the top of every Facebook feed: “What’s on your mind?”



*** The Strange & Curious Tale Of The Last True Hermit ***
<http://www.gq.com/news-politics/newsmakers/201409/the-last-true-hermit?utm_source=nextdraft&utm_medium=email>
Michael Finkel, GQ

> For nearly thirty years, a phantom haunted the woods of Central Maine. Unseen and unknown, he lived in secret, creeping into homes in the dead of night and surviving on what he could steal. To the spooked locals, he became a legend—or maybe a myth. They wondered how he could possibly be real. Until one day last year, the hermit came out of the forest.
